On the First Friday of every month, Arts Underground unveils its monthly exhibitions with an opening reception. Art lovers in the community can be the first to see new works by new artists and by some of Yukon’s favourite established artists. It is a chance to explore different cultures, discover something new, and share an enjoyable and inspiring experience with friends.
The Hougen Heritage Gallery
Using images from the MacBride Museum's collection, Yukon Erotica takes viewers on a trip back in time where brazen women toed the line by pushing out their chests and baring their ankles.
From March 1 - June 29
The Hougen Heritage Gallery is a presentation space for heritage collections of photographs, including the Hougen family collection, and was inspired by Rolf Hougen's passion for Yukon heritage. Exhibitions presented in the Hougen Heritage Gallery are curated by the MacBride Museum or the Friends of the Yukon Archives Society, and rotate every four months.
About
MacBride Museum of Yukon History
Yukon adventure starts at the MacBride Museum of Yukon History! From gold rush fever to the birth of Whitehorse, MacBride offers the most comprehensive view of the characters and events that built Canada's Yukon.
The museum, located in downtown Whitehorse just blocks away from the Arts Underground gallery, is open all year. MacBride offers programming for all ages on Yukon's nature culture and history. Once a year, MacBride mounts exhibits in the Hougen Heritage Gallery featuring outstanding artifacts from its collection of more than 25,000 objects, photographs and archival documents.
